What’s in Your Bag, Jessica Alba?

Jessica Alba was inspired to launch The Honest Company, a line of natural products, in her quest for high-quality, healthier products for her family. "If it's going on my skin, it's going in my body as well," Alba says. "Having tried nearly every beauty product out there, my awareness of what works for me and which companies use the safest ingredients has only grown."

WEB EXCLUSIVE: Jessica's Beauty Tips: • How has your beauty routine/philosophy changed over the years?My routine has gotten even more efficient—around 10 minutes total. The less time I spend on it, the more time I have to get things done!

• What about hair—any must-have products in your routine?John Master's Organics Sea Salt Spray ($16.50, johnmasters.com) is a great alternative to dry shampoo for me. If I scrunch my hair it gives me the perfect beachy wave and if I brush it through it gives me nice volume and a smooth texture. And The Honest Company Conditioning Mist ($6, honest.com) is the perfect, natural detangler to use whenever. It's not only hydrating but also smells great.

• What's your favorite thing you've cooked lately?I love to make turkey meatballs because they're so flavorful and filling. They also go with lots of different side dishes—I've been really into spaghetti squash recently. And I made a killer gluten-free vegan lasagna this weekend... okay, it was half homemade. I didn't make the veggie sausage, vegan cream cheese, vegan mozzarella or gluten-free noodles—but it was still killer! I think I have a new go-to for family dinner...
